Reef Brite Lumi Lite PRO, 36" Aquarium LED Light Strip - Ultra Actinic
SKU: RB-LLPRO36-UA
MSRP: $ 232.27
-
Available Through Authorized Retailer
- Optimized for 3-Foot Marine Aquariums: Measures a full 36 inches to provide seamless, end-to-edge supplemental actinic illumination across standard 3-foot tanks (such as 30-gallon, 40-gallon breeder, 50-gallon, and 65-gallon reef systems).
- Proprietary Ultra Actinic Spectrum: Combines ~450nm royal blue diodes with true ~400–420nm violet wavelengths to stimulate deep-tissue coral fluorescent proteins (GFPs and RFPs).
- High-Density LumiLite PRO Array: Loaded with tightly grouped surface-mount micro-LEDs to deliver a broad, blended sheet of light without localized hot spots or color banding.
- Enhanced Coral Pop & PAR: Delivers high photosynthetically active radiation to support zooxanthellae photosynthesis while dramatically enhancing coral fluorescence during twilight viewing.
- Silent Passive Aluminum Heatsink: Ultra-slim extruded aircraft-grade aluminum chassis silently radiates heat upward and away from the aquarium without cooling fans.
- Automation & Dimmer Ready: Fully dimmable and easily paired with Reef Brite inline rotary dimmers, Bluetooth LE modules, or third-party 0–10V aquarium controllers.

LED and T5 lighting built for reefs; energy-efficient, visually stunning, and engineered to make corals truly glow.
Reef Brite 36-Inch Lumi Lite PRO Ultra Actinic LED Strip Light
Illuminating a standard 3-foot reef aquarium—especially popular wide footprints like the 40 Gallon Breeder—with standard blue diodes often leaves certain fluorescent pigments unexcited, causing corals with yellow, orange, and purple chromoproteins to appear flat. The Reef Brite Lumi Lite PRO, 36" Aquarium LED Light Strip - Ultra Actinic (SKU: RB-LLPRO36-UA) is the official OEM linear LED fixture engineered specifically for 36-Inch (3-Foot) Marine Reef Aquariums, Coral Frag Tanks, and Canopy Retrofits.
Spanning 36 inches, the RB-LLPRO36-UA provides continuous, edge-to-edge supplemental illumination that bridges the dark spaces between clustered pendant lights or puck fixtures. Unlike standard actinic lights that operate strictly around 450nm royal blue, the Ultra Actinic array integrates true violet diodes peaking between 400nm and 420nm alongside deep blue wavelengths. This short-wavelength violet energy excites the full spectrum of green fluorescent proteins (GFPs), red fluorescent proteins (RFPs), and non-fluorescent chromoproteins, unlocking intense metallic tones and vibrant fluorescence in Acropora, Montipora, LPS chalices, and zoanthids. Fabricated within an ultra-slim, black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum profile, the fixture operates on 100% passive convective cooling. Heat is transferred upward and dissipated into ambient room air without cooling fans that can clog with salt dust or fail in high-humidity fish rooms.
Ideal Application & Upgrade Scenarios
If your 40 Gallon Breeder frag tank exhibits harsh shadow lines beneath central LED clusters, if you want to add rich violet-blue fluorescent pop to an existing 36-inch T5 or hybrid fixture, or if you need a dedicated dawn/dusk actinic channel that spans your entire display without cluttering canopy headroom, the RB-LLPRO36-UA delivers high-efficiency supplemental output in a streamlined profile.

Installation & Operating Guidelines:
Carefully unbox the fixture and check the 36-inch aluminum housing, DC lead cord, and power adapter for any transit damage.
Choose your mounting configuration:
Tank Rim Mounting: Slide the adjustable stainless steel legs into the side extrusion channels at both ends of the fixture and adjust to fit securely over your tank's perimeter rim.
Canopy Mounting: Fasten the light bar to the underside of your canopy framework using mounting clips or L-brackets, ensuring the LED surface remains at least 2 to 4 inches above the water level.
Position the fixture so the micro-diodes project directly downward across the entire reef aquascape.
Connect the barrel plug from the fixture's lead cord into the female receptacle of the included DC power supply (or install an optional inline dimmer/controller module inline).
Route the power cord with a drip loop below the electrical receptacle to stop water droplets from tracking into the wall socket.
Connect the power supply to an AC wall outlet, digital timer, or smart energy bar.
Set your initial photoperiod to run alongside your primary daylight cycle, or establish an independent dawn/dusk channel.
Pro Tips:
- Extend Violet Dawn/Dusk Channels for Maximum Fluorescence. Because the Ultra Actinic spectrum incorporates ~400–420nm violet wavelengths, its visual impact on coral fluorescence is most dramatic when primary daylight fixtures are turned off. Program the RB-LLPRO36-UA to ignite 1 hour prior to your central daylight fixtures in the morning and remain illuminated for 1 to 2 hours after your primary lights turn off at night. This provides an extended, low-stress twilight viewing period that stimulates fluorescent pigments without fueling nuisance green algae.
- Angle Dual Bars on 40 Breeder Frag Tanks. On wide 36" x 18" frag tanks like the standard 40 Gallon Breeder, installing two 36-inch Ultra Actinic strips—one along the front perimeter tilted slightly inward and one along the rear—creates an intersecting blanket of violet-blue light. This angled path illuminates the vertical sides and undercut bases of growing frag plugs, eliminating self-shadowing and maximizing usable frag rack surface area.
